When God called me I wondered
If there was some mistake
I was just a sinner
Far away from grace
But then I met my Savior
He washed away my sin
And now I serve the Lord of Lords
This changes everything
He fills me with His Spirit
His peace and joy abound
His love is overwhelming
My soul found solid ground
I’ve learned that He knows all
And there are no mistakes
So If He calls to you today
Just trust His love and grace
In response to the daily prompt Mistake
Your love is more than I can fathom
Your hope is way beyond compare
I can’t imagine why you chose to save me
When all I did was mock your name
When I fall into sin you send mercy
When trials come around you lend grace
I see your hand surround me when I wander
And gently lead me back to your embrace
You see my future. I see my past
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future. My past has passed
I have been blessed by the joy that you give
It overwhelms me each day that I live
Your peace is a river that flows slow and free
I am so thankful that you have blessed me
When sickness of pain should enter my life
I know that you’ll heal me in your chosen time
And if I should lose someone real close to me
I know that your spirit will comfort my grief
You see my future. I see my past
I need to learn that you always know what’s best
That when the trials of life come in I need to rest
You know my future. My past has passed
I can’t praise you enough for what you have done
Or for what you are going to do
So I yield control to your marvelous plan
And I lift my worship to you
I can see, I can see said the blind man
As he wiped the mud out of His eyes
He’d been touched by a man whom he did not know
And His sight was now fully realized
He cried where is the man who touched me?
Jesus came up and stood by him
He said I am the one who brought back your sight
Will you now give witness to me?
The man looked at Jesus and smiled
He said surely I’ll ell the whole world
Because I was just blind and now I can see
Just help me to speak the right words
Jesus told him to just tell his story
Of how he’d received his sight
And the man went his way as a witness for Christ
Sharing with all of his might.

I heard God Calling
In a voice sweet and low
He said “Child, you are ready
It’s time that you go
You’ve studied and prayed
That the harvest would come
So go out today
And touch everyone.
Hope for despair
Joy for their sorrow
Peace in the storms
Through all their tomorrows
Deliver the captive
Give sight to the blind
Bind up the demons
And cast them aside
Cleansing for lepers
Words for the dumb
Strength for their weakness
Heal everyone
Faith for the doubters
Forgive all their sin
Calm down their minds
Bring solace within
On top of all that
Show mercy each day
Give them my love
Teach them my ways
And treat everyone
With unrestrained grace
Never be harsh
Fill them with praise
And when you have done
All the things I have said
Then people will listen
And souls will be saved”
Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Sent to us from high above
Left His royal throne in heaven
Just to show us His great love
Oh the wondrous love of Jesus
Child in a manger lay
Shepherds came and bowed before Him
Nestled in the stables’ hay
What love, what unspeakable love
Jesus has for me
What love, what amazing love
That He would die for me
Oh, amazing love of Jesus
Walked this earth for three short years
Healing, teaching touching lives
All to show us how God cares
Oh, the selfless love of Jesus
Gave His body up for me
Beaten, bruised and crucified
Took my sin and set me free
What love, what unspeakable love
Jesus has for me
What love, what amazing love
That He would die for me
Oh, eternal love of Jesus
Buried in a borrowed tomb
Rose again and now He’s living
Giving me a life with Him
His love is eternal
His love is amazing
His love is compassionate
Meets my every need
His love is for everyone
He waits for you to ask Him
Lord please come into my heart
Make me new today
What love, what unspeakable love
Jesus has for me
What love, what amazing love
That He would die for me
Riots in the street
Mass murderers multiplying
Corruption in politics
Moral values declining
Where is it all leading?
Church is not important
But party and getting high are
What was taboo is now protected
A pure life won’t get you far
Where is it all leading?
The end is now near
To me is quite obvious
There are many out there
Who are so oblivious
The bible is clear
When times like these come
Our Lord will appear
And take the saints home
Will you be among
Those taken away
Or will you be left out
With all those who stay?
In response to the daily prompt Obvious
I remember when I found the love of Jesus
He came and washed my sins away
And ever since that day
I have found a way
To give Him all the praise that I can give
His mercy covers me when I am falling
His grace is so amazing and so free
I took Him as my Lord
It’s Him who I adore
So let’s all lift our praise in one accord
Worthy is the Lord, worthy is the Lord
Worthy is the Lord our God
Faithful to the end
He’s our blessed friend
Worthy is the Lord our God
Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord
Holy is the Lord our God
His majesty supreme
So wonderful to me
Holy is the Lord our God
Each day I lift my praise to heaven
I just can’t worship Him enough
I’ll praise all may days
With all my words of praise
I’ll shout it from the mountaintop
Worthy is the Lord, worthy is the Lord
Worthy is the Lord our God
Faithful to the end
He’s our blessed friend
Worthy is the Lord our God
Jesus is the Lord, Jesus is the Lord
Jesus is He Lord our God
He’s our eternal friend
Forever and amen
Jesus is the Lord our God
In this life that just keeps turning
People want to keep on learning
Their hearts are always yearning
For the truth
As knowledge just keeps growing
We have some trouble knowing
When the truth is really showing
In the news
There is one truth that’s abiding
And it never will go hiding
God’s love is overriding
Of our ways
And if we will trust His mercy
That He sent to us at Calv’ry
We can live a life that’s set free
All our days
response to the daily prompt Learning
Today the Lord was calling in a voice so sweet and low
He said “Son, there’s something special that everyone should know.
It’s really not a secret. It’s written in my book.
But there are way too many who never take a look.”
I asked the Lord how I could help to get to everyone
This world is so enormous. I’d never get it done
He said “My child it’s simple, just start with that one there
And one by one you will surely make this world aware.
So I said “I’ll do it Lord, I’ll take your message out
I’ll speak it in the marketplace. I’ll travel all about.
Just let me know the words that I should share today”
And then I heard His gentle voice say
“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love
Tell them I love them, and I want them here above
I sent my Son to take their place
They’re covered by my endless grace
Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”
I said “My Lord, I know it’s true that you have love for me
This world is very skeptical because of what they see
The violence and suff’ring seem to get worse every day
There’s many who blame you for this – then what should I say.”
“Tell them I love them with an everlasting love
Tell them I love them, and I want them here above
I sent my Son to take their place
They’re covered by my endless grace
Tell them I love them, and that should be enough”
And then He whispered in my ear that many just don’t know
Because we’ve turned our churches into places for a show
The truth that they must make the choice of heaven or of hell
Is something that few preachers are still willing to tell
He said “I need the laborers to get out in the field
The harvest is awaiting, and they need someone real
To tell them of this love I have for every single one
I’ve done all that I can do – I sent my only Son”
Okay, I got the message Lord, the gospel is enough
I’ll go out into all the world and tell them of your love
That Jesus died to take our sins and wash them all away
That message is more powerful than any words I say
I’ll tell them that you love them with an everlasting love
I’ll tell them that you love them, and you want them up above
You sent your Son to take their place
They’re covered by your endless grace
I’ll tell them that you love them, and that should be enough”
I posted this on August 18, and had a wonderful response. Here’s how the song goes!
